I am looking for information on my GG Grandmother Mary Josette (Truehart) Boulier. She was from Qubec but settled in Fort Fairfield some time during the 1870s. She married my GG Grandfather Mitchell Boulier and they have two children that I am aware of, Emma (Boulier) Bridges b. 1881 in Fort Fairfield and William Harrison Boulier b. 1886 in Fort Fairfield.
Mary was born in 1842 most likely in Qubec and died in 1923 in Fort Fairfield. She is buried in St. Dennis cemetery. That is about as much as I know. I would like to be able to find any information on her that might lead me to the names of her parents and possible siblings.
Thanks
Tim442,
I have done some more research on Josephine. Truehart is a literal translation of the french surname Francoeur. Please note that the Francoeur is a dit name for LeClerce. I have her birth date and her parents and few more generations back.
Her birth date is August 13 1840 she is daughter of Joseph-Marie Francoeur-Leclerc and Marie Olive Adeline Blanchett. Her parents were orignal from the town of Riviere Ouelle in Quebec they moved to St. Basile, New Brunswick and later in life to the town of St. Jacques New Brunswick west of the town of St. Basile. I have a family group sheet for Josephine brothers and sister and pedigree chart for couple generation back.
Please sent an email address and I will sent the a file on the Francoeurs

Annie,
Thank you for your call today. I had to go back and find this posting. I never received any form of email letting me know that this was posted. I had a question regarding our conversation today. You mentioned that you might have some info on the Truehart last name. Do you still have that info? Thank you for your info above.
Sincerely,
Tim
Presque Isle town reports 1896-1900 (971.1 lib ref #) couldn’t find her listed as teacher, also PI Star Herald 1940 article on Normal School doesn’t list her as teacher . there were all sorts of country schools around and maybe she taught at one of them close to the Jamieson rd. in other yrs. not listed.maybe she taught at the normal school at a later date. Now known as the Univ. of Maine at Presque Isle–maybe they know something. Her obit may say something.
Maine Ref 974.11 Pioneer PI to 1859 History and Rem. by Steinhauer vol.I if correct person Hugh named on pgs.20,30,35,74.. I assume jamieson rd. named after him
PI library may have obits from the Star Herald that could be helpful, also has roe and Colby atlas which should show where land owned in 1877, 207- 764-2571
